Shelby 427 1965 Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 It's in the community section! Well... If we're allowed more than one build.. I'm thinking 2003 Calsonic Skyline and a 90s rally build
BMX Addicts Posted May 11, 2013 Author Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Yup, found it... The Nissan is an awesome project Tomo... I wish I could find the Gran Turismo Polyphony Digital decals to make the Black version... Or that Tamiya would make up their mind to make the Nissan Woodone Advan Clarion GTR Uh??? Edited May 11, 2013 by BMX Addicts
martinfan5 Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 I want to do the 24 hour NIssan GTR that ran with the Grand Tursimo livery that was part of the GT academy in last years 24 hour race at the Ring, I could do the decals, but not being able to print in white is the problem
BMX Addicts Posted May 11, 2013 Author Posted May 11, 2013 That is the one Jonathan.... Full black with white decals.
martinfan5 Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Yes, that is close to the raced version , I would be happy to be able to decals for that one too I take it you play GT5 Edited May 11, 2013 by martinfan5
martinfan5 Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 My PSN is nascarfan49, I think lol send me friends request So are you ready for the 15th? I really hope 6 is going to be for PS3
BMX Addicts Posted May 11, 2013 Author Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Browsing though those photos, I got the perfect idea for the GT contest If you ever do the decals, please count me in for a couple sets. My ID is gameslayer2001... I'll look you up (Even though is Skyrim lately IOI). Edited May 11, 2013 by BMX Addicts
935k3 Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Instead of using solvents for the decals. Try pressing a steaming hot damp(not wet)cloth over the decals. They will set and conform instantly. Use a hot damp Q-tip for small areas. Start by usng a seft brush brushed over the decals to smooth them and get the bubbles out then hit them with the cloth. I could not have done this car without this method. The car is painted white and th rest is decals.

BMX Addicts Posted May 11, 2013 Author Posted May 11, 2013 Thank you Dale, believe it or not, that is exactly how I learned to do the decals and even though my experience is extremely limited, I have always praised myself as being above the average applying them... I tried the steaming pad and the QTip, I tried with and without solvents and as of right now, there is not a single decal in either one of the bodies. Gonna have to reach out for a hand from the guys at the local club... I want to be seating down right next to the guru that will be able to place these correctly. Noticed that the material is a bit thicker than the regular Tamiya decals too. Ah!!!, Jonathan, been browsing a lot of stuff trying to decide on the GT build
Shelby 427 1965 Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Big Gran Turismo fan myself, all 1-5 finished 100%. Question, has anyone tried using aftermarket decals for this car instead?
BMX Addicts Posted May 11, 2013 Author Posted May 11, 2013 Tomo we need to meet on the GT network some day; to be perfectly honest, I have not played with the wheel lately but it sure has been fun (The GT3 took me 11 months of non stop fun to complete, all the others were significantly faster... The GT5 I only finished in B Spec). I researched about the after market decals, could find only one company that makes them, is called Shunko, but they are sold out and they don't know when they would become available again... Also found them at Strada Sports, purchased them and this morning I got a Paypal refund with a note of out of stock... So it seems I would have to get a couple new kits just to replace the decals (OUCH!). Found a fellow modeler that said he would help me to install them, I hope to learn his trick.

BMX Addicts Posted May 11, 2013 Author Posted May 11, 2013 Thanks for looking into this Oscar, they have them, but with postage from AU they will be pretty close to the cost of purchasing a new kit... Is all right, it is what it is.
IMSANUT Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 You are right about the decals Tomo... It is the exact reason why I didn't do it in Castrol livery the first time around. Jim which of the Le Mans versions do you have the Denso Zard in White/Red or the Denso Black/Red... Or the PlayStation in Silver/Yellow? Red and white Denso Zard. I've not built the kit yet as I need to come up with another pair of the fender louver pieces contained in the kit as they are located on the rear fenders as well.
BMX Addicts Posted May 11, 2013 Author Posted May 11, 2013 Jim, I have extras of the fender trims (Assuming is the same body)... If you need them they are yours.
IMSANUT Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Jim, I have extras of the fender trims (Assuming is the same body)... If you need them they are yours. I can always use extra fender flairs. Thanks. What I need though are the narrow louvers that were included in the kit. I'll try to post a picture of what I am referring to over the course of the week end.
BMX Addicts Posted May 11, 2013 Author Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) You mean the hood inserts then? Edited May 11, 2013 by BMX Addicts
IMSANUT Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Actually, they do go on the hood. A second pair is needed for the lower rear quarter panels. Here are the parts needed, B tree 25: And here is the instruction sheet and the aftermarket decals for the Le Mans entry:
BMX Addicts Posted May 11, 2013 Author Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) I've got those little grills Jim... PM me your info and I'll get them out on Monday. Edited May 11, 2013 by BMX Addicts
sportandmiah Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Myself, Juan, John, Tomo , all have the same taste in car's, I have been debating about starting a race car community build thread, but I was not sure if there was going to be a lot of interest, but I think I am going to get that started now Great idea!
BMX Addicts Posted May 12, 2013 Author Posted May 12, 2013 We really need to get the ball rolling with the Gran Turismo Race Car CPB... I believe we need a hand full more of people to get it going. Worked a little last night: And primed the chassis this morning:
BMX Addicts Posted May 12, 2013 Author Posted May 12, 2013 Chassis done... (Sorry about the picture quality)... You guys need to see this one: Is the construction of the smallest V12 engine , the viedeo is in Spanish because it was manufactured by Motores Patelo but is truly a work of art.
martinfan5 Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 Looking good, you saving any kits for the GT race car build I will be sending a friends request on PSN in a day or so when I get on to play the latest seasonal
